Leyland, the manager of the reigning AL champion Tigers, was asked if it was tough to decide on his batting order with all the sluggers voted into his lineup.

“Even I can’t mess that one up," he said. "But, now, we just sat down and put Trout up front obviously for some speed and bunched a bunch of power guys together and we’ll see how it will play out. A little bit of lefty-righty, but I don’t think that makes a lot of difference in this game. You really never know how it is going to play out. But you know you have to put them somewhere and I felt comfortable with the lineup I made out … These are the greatest so, like I say, it’s pretty hard to mess that one up.”
